Hey guys,
I have a plant in coco coir under a 400 watt mh and around maybe 150 watts of blurple LEDs. It looks like its growing new growth tip or nodes (not sure on the proper term) on the fan leaf stems. Can anybody point me at some information on this because I have never seen it before. I did a search but I came up with nothing. I’m wondering if it’s a mutation or something some strains just do. Here are some pictures 
That’s quite interesting. It’s a possible mutation. That being said I have seen buds grow from petioles of fan leaves in some of the Chinese strains particularly from the Yunnan region. What strain is it? It’s possible it has some mutant gentics from the parent strains. Lots of plants can have different things going on, like albino leaves where either side of the midrib on leaves is white and one side green. You can have plants displaying male traits on one side of the plant and female on the other, etc. So quite likely you’ve just come across a strange variant in the genetics. Could be nothing to worry about. Looks quite healthy. Just watch out for male flowers.
I’d say YEP that’s a mutant!
Would be interesting to see if you can clone a piece… 
That’s really cool! Never seen that before in my garden. A few of my plants I’m growing right now have calyxes where the fan leaf meets the fan leaf stem.
I want to see what it does in flower. Hopefully the crazy mutation continues with buds growing crazy.
The plant is a cross I made; Mother of Berries X Pineapple Express. I checked this morning for male preflowers and didn’t see any but that plant is pretty big so there may be some. I did find some pistils though so its definitely female for right now, I haven’t had any of the seeds herm but I also haven’t had any of them do this. The mutation seems to be pretty consistent across the plant now. There are new shoots popping on fan leaf stems everywhere and in some places there are more than one. My biggest concern is that it looks like these may try to mature into full grown tops which would be cool but I just wonder if a fan leave stem could support a cola.
I see pistils in the second picture… that’s a lady lol
However I don’t know how the leaf stem will react to that but it’ll be cool to watch
I have never seen or heard of anything like that before. That is quite interesting…
Thought I’d seen everything.
That’s f’ing weird.
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Yeah its very strange. A part of me thinks it would be awesome to have a top at on every fan leaf stem because most of the time more tops = more bud. But I think there will be negative effects to the plant too I just don’t know what there are yet. I will take some clones soon so that I can preserve the genetics if this turns out well.
I had several like this on my last grow with Blue Dream clones. They had been severely abused though. Every single one was a hermie.
I have seen pictures like yours where a bud grows on the fan leaf itself but never where there are new nodes developing on the stems. Fingers crossed she doesn’t hermie.
I think I will try to clone a leaf.
Replied to the wrong comment lol
Thanks for the hermie pics @anon32470837 – these kinds of images are more helpful then pretty bud shots. 
I believe that’s a trait of Chinese strains. Not the hermying per say but the bud at the top of the petiole. I don’t think it’s that common though.
This particular plant is quite a bushy fecker. Interested to see how buds develop.
So what happened with harvest
